Arrow

Stop attacking the CW series.

I loved watching Arrow-

All the things they did-

...

The Flash-

... with Arrow and Flash.

Eight seasons-

...

Okay.

But it was Arrow that was trying to book me 'cause I had been an editor on Arrow.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

And so I said yes, and Berlanti was wonderful, and Greg said, you know, "Go out and study every director you can, and, uh, get your s- get into the Warner Brothers program." So I did the Warner Brothers directing program, and, um-

Mm.

Wow

... then I directed both Supergirl and Arrow that season, and then the next season I was a full-time director.

What do you think it was about you that they said, "She should direct"? 'Cause obviously you know editors.

And the match wasn't great, but it was good enough.

Uh, what, what was his name? The Arrow guy and Christopher Daniels.

Stephen Amell.

Amell.

John Sutris here, porn sack, Pshat Show, is joining us again for a new conversation.

He has been killing it on Absolute Green Arrow.

Four issues are out.

Issue 5 is coming out in a couple weeks.

He also has a great new Tiny Onion book coming out, part of the Lone Gunman stuff, and he'll talk about that, as well as going back to his days at Vertigo and and as the interface between DC and the CW during the Arrowverse years.

Really interesting stories.

Always great to talk to Pornsack.

I saw Porn Sack a couple weeks ago at Fan Expo Chicago.

Yeah, this is the first time I've heard her.

Wait, she was in, wait, who is she? She's Felicity in Arrow.

What? Oh, that's even funnier.

That is her, isn't it? oh my gosh, oh, that makes me, oh, this makes me like this more because man, not write a lot of good shit for Felicity at points in that, in that show.

Yeah.

He did actually a good turn on the TV series Heroes.

which is obviously getting a lot of play lately because of the death of Hayden Pantier.

Yeah.

You know, everybody's got to get paid.

Exactly.

And he was also Bronze Tiger on the TV series Arrow.

Yeah, he was.

All right.

Siege, your clue for your television show was- It joined the Arrowverse with shows like Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, and others.

Well, now I don't think that's gonna help either way.

If you can't be right, be funny.

Turner, what year was the beginning for Legends of Tomorrow?

All right, I've got vague approximations of when everything started.

Um, 'cause, like, I don't even know when Arrow started, 'cause it was Ar- it was Arrow, then Flash, then Supergirl.

Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl started right around the same time.

This

was in between Brendan's assessment of Green Arrow and The Flash on the same podcast, Alex.

Easy to miss that.

Those are like his three favorite things.

That actor, The Flash, and Green Arrow.

If he could have been on an episode of Arrow, it's just called Arrow.

I'd never get it right.

I'd never get it right.
